Drama Bug Trilogy

If you've ever heard the call of the stage you'll want to tune in to our Drama Bug Trilogy!

Although few know her name today, theater producer-director Margo Jones pioneered the regional theater movement, championed the work of new playwrights, including Tennessee Williams, and crusaded against the commercial domination of New York theater.﻿ Sweet Tornado: Margo Jones and the American Theater﻿ airs Monday, August 12, 2013 at 7 p.m. on WXXI World.

Immediatly following Sweet Tornado at 8 p.m. is Stagestruck: Confessions from Summer Stock which takes a nostalgic look back at the 26-year history of America's first "in-the-round" summer stock theater — the Orleans Arena Theatre on Massachusetts' Cape Cod.﻿

Finally, at 9 p.m., Still on the Road follows twelve actors bringing classical theater to America in The Acting Company's 37th season. A classical touring ensemble, The Acting Company originated with select individuals from the first graduating class of Julliard's drama division.
